Legal and privacy
This policy explains how nars-cosmetics.us uses cookies and similar technologies. It covers what cookies are set, what they do, and how you can control them. The site is operated by the editorial team of NARS Cosmetics Journal, 482 Broadway, Suite 3B, New York, NY 10013, USA.

Plain-language basics
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences between pages, such as whether you have already dismissed a notice. They are not programs and they cannot access other files on your device.
Because a cookie only carries the small piece of information a site asks it to hold, it cannot browse your folders, read your documents, or run on its own. When this journal's editors publish a new shade breakdown or update an older guide, the site still needs a way to know that you have already seen the notice at the bottom of the page — that is the everyday job a cookie does here.
A cookie is not
This site uses a small number of cookies. Essential cookies keep the site working and remember basic preferences. Analytics cookies help us understand which guides readers open and how they move between pages, so we can decide what to update or write next. We do not use cookies for advertising.
That last point matters for a reader comparing nars cosmetics information across the journal: the pages you open are used to plan the editorial calendar, not to build an advertising profile of you. The lists below name each group by the job it does, so you can decide what to allow and what to block.
These are required for the site to function properly. They cover things like session handling and remembering that you have seen a notice. Blocking them may affect how parts of the site behave, though the guides remain readable.
Analytics cookies record visits in aggregate. They tell us which pages are read most, how long readers stay, and where they leave. This data is used to prioritise updates and is not used to identify you personally.
In practice that means we can see that a shade guide for nars makeup is read more than an older comparison page, and we can put the editorial hours where readers actually are. We cannot see who read it, what else they browsed before arriving, or which products they own.
Some cookies may be set by services we use for hosting or analytics. Those providers process data under their own policies. We choose providers that limit data collection to what the function requires.
You will not find a list of named vendors on this page, because the providers we rely on can change as the site is maintained. What stays constant is the rule we apply when choosing them: the provider should collect what the hosting or measurement job needs and nothing further. If you would rather avoid third-party cookies entirely, your browser can block that category on its own while leaving essential cookies in place.
Blocking a cookie changes what the site remembers, not what you can read.
Every guide, shade breakdown and routine article stays open. Only preferences and notice memory are affected.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies after each session. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which discards cookies when you close it.
There is no account to delete and no preference list to edit on our side. Whatever you decide happens inside your own browser, and it applies the next time you open the journal.
Good to know
Clearing cookies also clears the memory that you dismissed the notice, so it will appear again on your next visit.
Cookie controls are found in your browser's settings or preferences menu, usually under a privacy or security heading. If you delete existing cookies, any preferences stored in them are cleared. Instructions differ between browsers and change over time, so check your browser's help pages for current steps.
Some browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. There is no common standard for how sites should respond to it, so this site does not currently act on those signals. You can use cookie controls or private browsing instead.
The signal is a request, not an instruction a site is obliged to follow, and different browsers send it in different ways. Because of that, the reliable options are the ones inside your browser settings: block cookies, block third-party cookies, or read in a private window.
We may update this policy if the cookies we use change. The current version always appears on this page. If you continue using the site after an update, the revised policy applies to your use.
A revision is usually a small wording change, or a new sentence when a hosting or measurement service changes what it records. Nothing on the page is versioned or dated for you to track — what you read here is what currently applies to the journal, including the nars beauty products and shade guides published on it.
No. Every article stays readable. What you lose is the site's memory of small things, such as the fact that you already dismissed the notice at the bottom of the page.
No. The reports we read are totals: how many people opened a guide, how long they stayed, and which page they left from. Individual readers are not named or singled out in them.
Hosting and measurement providers change as the site is maintained, and a static list would go out of date. The commitment we keep instead is simpler to check: providers are chosen so they collect only what the hosting or measurement job requires.
